TIE Lewiston Teller attacks
with great vehemence that por
,tion Of Governor S.cvenson's re
port in wbion the popula
ton &c siic Territory is placed al
100000, and says that it is untrue
Now if the Governor had attributed
any Of the gain in population which
has undoubtedly taken place to
Lewiston, the Teller would without
doubt have some grounds on which
to stand in its assertion. For if
there is anything that is self
evident it is the fact that Lewiston
has not furnished a respectable per
Gent of the increase, and from this
humiliating fact the Teller is forced
to argue against the balance of the
Territory. Fortunately, however,
there are few square miles of Teg-
Fltory OUTSIDE OF Lewiston, and
there the gain has taken place.
The fault lies not with Lewiston.
TO carry the load Of annexationists
the fair city is bllldened with is
enough, and any increase is out Of I
the question. The Grangeville
Free Press sums up the situation
exactly: u would be better for
The interests of The Clearwater and
salmon riyer country and bring us
more settlers if the Lewiston papers
.alked less of annexation and more
Is if we had the resources and
Utility necessary to form state of

The war in the American Board
of Foreign Missions over the future
probation question has resulted in
a decisive victory for those who de-
clare that the heather will have no
chance Of repentance in any future
state, whether they ever heard of
Christianity or not. The committee
has been instructed not only to en-
ploy no missionaries who believe in
the doctrine Of future probation,
but to be careful to guard against
any implied or expressed approval
of the doctrinein any form. A very
serious oversight on the part of the
Board was the absence of
an expression ordering the re.
lection Of contributions from
those who have doubts rs to wheth-
or the heather will be damned for
,pot believing in a religion of
which they have never heard

THE Malad City Enterprise il
discussing the Mormon scheme o.
Statehood for Utah, pointedly says.
IF Mormons are willing TO discard
polygniny under State laws, why in
the name Of common sense can not
they do away with it under Terri
torial laws?" The Mormons have
controlled legislative affairs in Utah
for years and if they have ever
made any pretensc of discarding
polygamy the public records donot
show it. As they have adopted
Constitution which abolishes polyg-
amy when Utah becomes a State,
but then they will have the en-
forcement Of that document in their
own hands-the Enterprise con-
cludes: "The Mormons are hardly
willing to give up polygamy now,
put are ready TO promise that they
,yill do it at some other tiIae--when
{he girlsare all gone, probably"

~Ifaparty could, as party, make

that relation all men are equal and

government and before the Law
whether they are pious or wicked

not ask the same questions Of a cit

church does, because they deal
with men in two wholly different
relations. -Of course every man I
should be good man, but as a
matter Of fact all men are not good

the eye of the government with

The story told by Senator Stanford,
President of the Central Pacific Rail-
Road Company, as to how he earned his
first dollar, is given to the public by a
newspaper correspondent. 1t was by
gathering lot of horSe-radish, cleaning
and selling it, when he was boy six
years of age. The Senator remembers
it lust as well as if it had happened
yesterday" and no event in his life
since has given him $50 much gratifi-
cation" The Senator will be given an
opportunity, before the Pacific Railroad
Investigating Committee is through
with its labors, to tell how he earned
the majority of his subsequent dollars.
1t is to be hoped that his memory will
be equally fresh with regard to the pro-
cesSes by which he obtained them. 1t
is perhaps natural that the remem-
brance of how he acquired these later
dollars should be less gratifying than
that relating to his first dollar World.
We have no doubt but more than one
Senator could, if he would, tell how he
earned his last dollar.

Referring to the late disaster by
which $50 men and boys lost their
lives in mine at Vancouver, the Phil
adelphia Record very truly says:
"There have been recent mining disas-
tiers that no human foresight could
have prevented, but the extent of some
of the calamities might have been les
sened had there been other shafts by
which the men could have escaped. 1t
is an outrage against humanity that
workers should be paid starvation
wages and then be left in the event of
an accident as helpless as rats in
trap

"Alas, for the rarity

Such charity as the following: lone
of the Boston ministers tells story of
Philips Brooks which is quite too
Brooksy not to be true. The minister
had occasion to look up very poor
family, and climbed up four flights of
stairs in a noisome tenement house on
his Grand. His tap at the door was
answered by Phillips Brooks with a
baby in his arms. Inquiry revealed
the fact that the woman had been very
sick and sorely need fresh air, but had
no one with whom to leave her little
baby. Phillips Brooks found her out,
gave her tickets for a horse-car ride,
and was staying tending the baby while
she enjoyed it."

In a recent number of the New
York Times, we find the following:
"If the people come to a realization of
the fact that the money is being taken
out of their pockets for no good use,
which must either be squandered in
extravagant appropriations or boarded
up in the treasury, they will take
prompt measures to see that taxation is
reduced. And when it comes to a
question whether the taxes shall be
taken off from liquor and tobacco. or
from the materials of manufacture.
the choice shall not be doubtful or long
delayed. If the case shall be presented
in this way. as there is every reason to,
think that it will be, tariff reform will
come about with certainty that will
surprise a good many theorists on both
sides of the water"
For a number of years the farmers
of the West, in fact all consumers, have
been heavily taxed, to build up and
enrich a few manufactures in the East.
It is hoped that the people of the West
win be able to understand that money
is being taken out of their pockets, to
be squandered on extrayagant appro-
pristions or heaped up in the treasury.
at the last session of Congress a
move was made to relieve us from I'M
just. taxation. Every member from
Kansas voted no. If Eastern monopo-
lists is the God our representatives
serve, it Is high time the people discard
them and choose men that win repre-
sent their interests.

ways of his own for making soup and
